Cycle Reminder turns every recurring task into a visual cycle you can read at a glance. Whether it's watering the plants, taking medication, doing the laundry, stretching at your desk, or reapplying sunscreen — most routines aren't a single beep on a schedule. They have a window: a stretch of time where you don't need to act yet, a stretch where you should, and a stretch where you really must. Cycle Reminder is built around that idea. HOW IT WORKS For each task you set three durations: - Rest — you don't need to think about it yet - Can-Do — a good time to take care of it - Must-Do — it's overdue, handle it now The task appears on your home screen as a smooth progress ring that fills as time passes, color-shifting from rest, to can-do, to must-do. One tap on the reset button and the cycle starts over. WHAT YOU GET - Three-stage progress gauges that make priority obvious without reading text - Local notifications and alarms when a stage ends — even when the app is closed - Pause a task when you're traveling or on a break, resume without losing position - Swipe to delete, long-press to drag and reorder - Pull down on the list to search across all your tasks - Edit any task's title and durations at any time - Everything stored locally on your device — no account, no cloud, no sync setup GREAT FOR - Household routines: watering plants, changing filters, cleaning the litter box, taking out compost - Personal care: medication, supplements, contact lenses, sunscreen, hydration - Wellness: posture breaks, eye breaks, stretching, walking the dog - Work: standups, focus blocks, recurring follow-ups - Hobbies and pets: feeding schedules, fermenting, sourdough starter, aquarium maintenance FREE WITH OPTIONAL UPGRADE Cycle Reminder is free to download and use. A small banner ad appears at the bottom to support development. If you'd rather not see ads, a one-time in-app purchase removes them permanently — no subscription, no recurring charges. PRIVACY Your tasks live only on your iPhone. We don't collect, sync, or upload them. There is no sign-in. Aside from the standard requirements of the ad SDK, no analytics or personal data leave your device. Download Cycle Reminder and replace the mental load of "when did I last do that?" with a quiet, visual answer.

Loopcheck turns checklists into something that resets itself instead of piling up forever. Every item comes back on its own schedule — daily, weekdays, or custom days — so you start each morning with a clean list. RECURRING TASKS, NOT ONE-OFF TO-DOS Set a schedule once — daily, weekdays, weekends, or specific days — and the item reappears automatically. No re-adding the same chores every single day. SHARED PROJECTS FOR FAMILY AND TEAMS Create shared projects — Home, Work, Groceries — and invite the people you share them with. Owner, editor, and viewer roles control who can change the list and who just tracks progress. Everything syncs in real time. STREAKS THAT KEEP YOU GOING Finish every item in a project, day after day, and watch your streak grow. The project calendar shows your history at a glance — fully done days, partial days, and what's still ahead. READY-MADE TEMPLATES Don't want to start from a blank list? The template gallery offers ready-made sets for home, work, and study — in English and Russian. Save your own projects as templates to reuse them later. DESIGNED FOR iOS Loopcheck is built with the new Liquid Glass design language — translucent surfaces, fluid animation, full dark mode support — so it feels like a natural part of the system. PRO SUBSCRIPTION The free version covers basic projects and checklists. Loopcheck Pro removes the limits on projects and collaborators and unlocks full completion history, with weekly, monthly, or lifetime plans. Loopcheck is for anyone who wants the important stuff to come back on its own — not get buried in last month's list.
